I'm working on a http://bash.org scraper and decided to share it with you guys, I've been working on it for about 30 minutes, including learning the case constructs.

It needs either links or lynx to be installed and a variable in the script to be set depending on which (if either) is installed.

I will add search and browse functionality to it at some point.

If you feel like contributing you can send your contributions to calrogman+bashorg@googlemail.com

I hope you like it and enjoy the quotes!

Any chance you can make it use w3m? That's installed by default on Ubuntu and would be nice to have the option.

Well, since all of them use the same method for dumping web pages (program -dump URL), yes, I can, very quickly.

0.1.1-TESTING is now available.
